Analysis of whole transcriptome reveals the immune response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection and tylvalosin tartrate treatment in the porcine alveolar macrophages by Kun Du, Yu Xia, Qian Wu, Miao Yin, Hong Zhao, Xi-wen Chen

“…Then, strand-specific RNA-sequencing (ssRNA-seq) and miRNA-sequencing (miRNA-seq) were carried out to profile the whole transcriptome of PAMs in the negative control, PRRSV-infected, and tylvalosin tartrates-treatment group.ResultsThe ssRNA-seq identified 11740 long non-coding RNAs in PAMs. …”

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals intrahepatic signature related to pathobiology of duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3) infection by Yunsheng Zhang, Dingbang Ding, Shaofei Li, Qiong Pan, Jinlong Ru, Haonan Zhao, Guang Yao, Jie Wei, Shuaiqin Wang, Shuisheng Hou, Xia Wang

“…To dissect the molecular characteristics associated with pathobiology of ducklings to DHAV-3, we applied single-cell RNA-sequencing approach to profile the transcriptome of 1.4 million cells from 14 livers of DHAV-3 susceptible (S) and resistant (R) ducklings during viral infection and 4 uninfected healthy controls. We found that infected S ducks exhibited the activation of type I and II interferon pathways with elevated expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) compared to infected R ducks and healthy controls. …”
